Doctor Strange has mixed feelings about working his magic on the Saturday Night Live stage in a new promo released on Tuesday.
In the clip, Benedict Cumberbatch, star of Marvel's next tentpole superhero film, quietly sizes up Studio 8H.
"We meet at last," he says with a sultry stare before giving out an exasperated, "Oh f**k!"
Cumberbatch hosts an all-new Saturday Night Live on Saturday at 11:30 p.m. Et/Pt on NBC.
In real life, the Emmy winner's confidence should be at an all-time high, as Doctor Strange has already earned $99 million overseas ahead of this week's U.S. opening.

What It Is: Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s iconic musical Cats returned to Broadway this summer, with British chanteuse Leona Lewis making her debut on the Great White Way as Grizabella, The Glamour Cat. (Her run in the show ended last month, and School of Rock actress Mamie Parris has since taken over the “Memory”-making role.) I went behind the scenes at the theater and got a crash course in stage makeup, skin-tight unitards and choreography before making my own debut on a Broadway stage.

With Together Again, Jesse Hassenger looks at actors and directors who have worked together on at least three films, analyzing the nature of their collaborations.
Brian De Palma met his first wife on a movie set. This is not uncommon for people who work in the film industry, but it seems particularly appropriate for De Palma, whose work often takes place in a stylized universe composed in crazy tracking shots, split-screen storytelling, split-diopter images, and other heightened tricks of the trade. In a seemingly perverse touch, the meet-cute movie in question was Carrie, in which Allen, then in her mid-20s, played a coarse, vindictive, borderline evil teenage girl. As the meanest girl in a horror movie, Allen is killed on screen, in a fiery car wreck after attempting to run over the telekinetic outcast Carrie White.
In real life, Allen survived to marry De Palma in 1979—and get killed...

We are digging ever deeper into the truth about Westworld, but I feel dumber than ever after watching "Contrapasso."
I'm on a two-day hiatus from caffeine, and that's never easy. But Westworld Season 1 Episode 5 was also a lesson in subtleties. Nothing came out and smacked you in the face with its meaning.
What I took away from the hour is that in the middle of the maze not only will we find Arnold, but the key to why he wanted to end Westworld 35 years ago. Maybe. Or maybe 100 million other beautiful parts which have been in hiding, similar to how The Man in Black saw and now sees the hosts.
How do you like to watch television?
Do you just sit back, watch and enjoy the surprises as they come, or do you like to theorize about everything that might have meaning?
If you haven't noticed, I definitely fall into the latter category.

45 years ago, one of the most divisive shows ever made debuted and became the biggest hit of the 1970s. All In The Family hit the airwaves in 1971 and created a maelstrom of controversy. The non-pc humor of the show would never be tolerated today. However, was the show really racially insensitive or was it just using humor to cast some light on the ignorance and prejudices of the world?
Based on the Brit-com Till Death Do Us Part (which had debuted in 1965), the CBS series All In The Family (1971-1979) was a no-holds barred sitcom about working-class bigot Archie Bunker, an unapologetic racist, homophobic, sexist lout from Astoria, NY. Archie had an opinion on everything, and never failed to offend everyone. The character used inflammatory, non-pc language on a weekly basis. He regularly squared off with his liberal Democrat son-in law Mike in heated arguments about minorities, immigrants, women, non-Christians...

In the movie this scene will be crazy funny. In real life this is bullshit, but we commit to the comedy.

When Joey Graceffa released his debut memoir In Real Life last May, it promptly soared to the top of the Amazon Humor charts. And now, with his follow-up literary effort, a dystopian young adult novel titled Children Of Eden, it looks like Graceffa has another hit on his hands.
After launching on Oct. 4, Children Of Eden debuted at the top of the most recent New York Times Best Seller list within the Young Adult Hardcover category, according to the Times. Children Of Eden, which Graceffa announced on his YouTube channel in July, follows heroine Rowan -- a twin born in a future society where families are only allowed to have one child apiece. After being hidden away in her family’s compound for years, she escapes for one night of adventure, which sets into motion a world-changing chain of events.

On his YouTube series After Hours, MTV News correspondent Josh Horowitz enlists A-list celebrities to lampoon their own industry. Whether it’s Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain throwing a really weird party or James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe getting competitive at pub trivia, Horowitz gets celebrities to play heightened versions of themselves in bizarre situations. And his latest After Hours sketch sees Anna Kendrick and Ben Affleck get super awkward about superheroes.
In real life, of course, Kendrick is actually gunning for Marvel’s Squirrel Girl, but in this sketch Kendrick sees herself more as a Robin, or—why not?—even a Batman. She hijacks a press junket for their movie The Accountant to try to sell Affleck on casting her in the upcoming Batman film he’s directing. Things go off the rails from there as Kendrick breaks out her homemade Robin cosplay and tries to turn her desire...

Your Thursday dose of utter adorableness comes from Disney/Pixar — but not in animated form. Dug, the ebullient dog from Pixar’s Up, got the real-life treatment in a video by Oh My Disney, the official blog of The Walt Disney Company. In the video, a Golden Retriever dons Dug’s high-tech collar that translates his thoughts and barks into English, and he makes some new friends at the park. Longtime Pixar voice actor Bob Peterson reprises his role as Dug, even finding an opportunity to shout, “Squirrel!” and sympathize with a fellow canine in the cone of shame. Check it out below: The video is the first in a new digital series from Oh My Disney called “Disney Irl (In Real Life).” It appears the set-up isn’t quite so much of a surprise to folks in the park as Improv Everywhere’s awesome “Movies in Real Life” series...

It was a pivotal moment during that period leading up to Britney's mental breakdown, and many people remember it vividly. In real life, she hopped out of a silver sedan and swung wildly at a paparazzo at a gas station, but the movie's clearly taking some creative license. You can see in the video,...

Who doesn't love a good disaster movie — especially when it stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson? New Line and Warner Bros.' San Andreas rocked the North American box office this weekend with a better-than-expected $53.2 million after earning an A- CinemaScore from audiences happy to be jolted again and again. (In real life, a powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake hundreds of miles off the coast of Japan on Saturday evening was felt in much of the country.)

It might have been more of a post-cinema release cult hit, but Wet Hot American Summer boasted so much comedy acting talent packed into its cast that it was somehow natural that someone would try to bring it back. That someone was Netflix, which commissioned follow-up series First Day Of Camp, which will arrive on the streaming service in July. The first full batch of images from the show is now online. The series, according to co-writer/director David Wain, is “a prequel to the original movie. In real life we’re 15 years older but in the show we’re playing two months younger. The movie took place on the last day of camp in the summer of 1981. The show takes place on the first day.”Pretty much the entire original cast – which included Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks, Bradley Cooper, Christopher Meloni and Molly Shannon – is back for this one,...

In retrospect, the popularity of "Braveheart" seems like a foregone conclusion.
The movie, which opened 20 years ago this week (on May 24, 1995), won five Oscars, two of them for star Mel Gibson (in his roles as producer and director). The Best Picture winner thrilled audiences as well as critics with its exciting battle scenes, stirring speeches, and sweeping historical narrative of 13th-century Scottish independence fighter William Wallace. At its center is a charismatic performance by the "Lethal Weapon" star, then at the height of his popularity as a box office draw and action hero. It grossed $210 million worldwide. Two decades later, it's still the most famous movie ever made about Scotland.
Still, even though the movie has been a staple for 20 years, there may be plenty you don't know about it, from its generous liberties with history to the R-rated pranks the director pulled on his leading lady.

Joey Graceffa recently came out to his viewers in a music video he shared on his YouTube channel, and at the end of the video, the vlogger made sure to include a plug for his book, In Real Life. Graceffa’s entry into the literary world has now arrived, and within a day of its release, it hit the top of several Amazon charts, including the online retailer’s list of its bestselling humor books.
In In Real Life, which is subtitled My Journey To A Pixelated World, Graceffa tells the story of his ascension to online fame. “Twenty-three year old Joey Graceffa has captured the hearts of millions of teens and young adults through his playful, sweet, and inspirational YouTube presence (not to mention his sparkling eyes and perfect hair),” reads the book’s description. “Yet, Joey wasn’t always comfortable in his skin, and in this candid memoir,...

YouTube has positioned itself as a strong ally of the Lgbt community, and as a result, many of its biggest stars have used the site to aid discussions of sexuality. In the past two years alone, YouTube creators like Lucas Cruikshank and Connor Franta have received positive feedback after using online videos to say “I’m gay.” The latest YouTube star to come out is Joey Graceffa, and he made his announcement into a spectacle by framing it as a music video.
In a video called “Don’t Wait,” Graceffa uses a fairy tale metaphor to tell the story of his life. The video ends by answering a debate the vlogger’s fans have been discussing for years. In a postscript, Graceffa explains how he hopes to serve as a role model for young Lgbt individuals. “I really just hope that it will be able to help some of you...

This Sunday's "I Love Lucy Superstar Special" on CBS may just be an elaborate repackaging of two 60-year-old black-and-white sitcom episodes, now meticulously colorized and shown back-to-back without a pause. But anything Lucy-related remains a gold mine for CBS, even six decades later, and the May 17 special will probably not be an exception.
The two "I Love Lucy" episodes show a couple of Lucy Ricardo's (Lucille Ball) typically frustrating brushes with fame. In "L.A. at Last!", Lucy's bandleader husband Ricky (Desi Arnaz) is cast in a movie, which means a Hollywood road trip for the Ricardos and their friends Ethel and Fred Mertz (Vivian Vance and William Frawley). Lucy and Ricky each make the acquaintance of movie icon William Holden, playing himself, and gamely taking a pie in the face. (The colorized version CBS is airing contains footage not seen on TV since the episode first aired 60 years ago.

You have to give a bit of applause to Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner for being in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. It isn’t that it’s good, because it really isn’t, but it’s a fun, family-friendly effort that aims at making kids laugh.
In the world of movies geared towards younger audiences, there are two camps – those that have some appeal to older audiences as well, and those that really, really don’t. This one is squarely in the latter camp, which actually makes it hard to judge.
Sure, it’s fairly stupid, but it isn’t precisely because it thinks you’re stupid (or kids are). It’s just that if you’re young, you’re easier to get a laugh out of, and things like getting kicked by a kangaroo are hilarious.

In The Drownsman, now out on Blu-ray from Anchor Bay, Ry Barrett superbly plays the titular antagonist, and we caught up with the actor to discuss the 1980s horror movie villains that influenced his performance, his thoughts on reprising the role, and more.
Thanks for taking the time to chat about The Drownsman. I thought it was a fun and frightening film with a 1980s-esque vibe.
Ry Barrett: It is definitely a throwback to those kinds of movies. That is exactly what drew me to it. I’m staring at a stack of my DVDs right now and they’re full of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Candyman—all those sorts of characters I grew up with and always loved to get freaked out by.

Kingdom Hearts is a series whose plot is constantly in a state of conflict with itself. At the center of this conflict is a level of tonal inconsistency that is put into place by even choosing to merge the happy-go-lucky innocence of Disney with the moody and brooding, self-serious Final Fantasy franchise to begin with. The vast difference between these two worlds, and further, between the various Disney worlds themselves, feels at odds with the often dark beats of the story’s proper canonical elements like the darkness in human hearts or the jealousy of a spurned lover. Never is this massive disparity made more clear than in the case of its two principle characters, Sora and Riku.
Though the plot of Kingdom Hearts in it’s may iterations is clearly a story predominantly about Sora, starting with the second game (Chain of Memories), Riku, the obvious fan favorite became playable to some extent.

Having hauled The Rake’s Progress out of deep storage, the Metropolitan Opera is doing the showbiz equivalent of blinding your math teacher by bouncing sunlight off a watch face. A few quick dazzles and the opera will get tucked back out of sight, leaving the aftershock of brilliance dancing on the retina. (There’s one more performance on Saturday.) Jonathan Miller’s 1997 production has hardly aged at all, and here it gets a shot of rejuvenating energy from a fresh and flawless cast.The strongest link is Paul Appleby, the apple-cheeked, honey-voiced tenor who takes the character of Tom Rakewell from puppy in a sweater-vest through bitter roué to delusional inmate, finding a consistent hollowness within that enormous range. In the opera’s moralistic universe, Tom pays an awful price for being a greedy, shortsighted fool who learns too late how to love. (In real life, such people are elected to public office.

The first trailer for "Black Mass," the story of notorious South Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, features a stunning transformation from Johnny Depp, who plays the mob boss with such terrifying conviction that it's hard to look the character in the eye.
The clip begins innocently enough, as Whitey sits down for a delicious steak dinner with some pals. He raves about the meal, asking about the marinade, which is deemed a "family secret." But Bulger keeps pushing, until finally his friend gives up the recipe, and that's when the pleasant conversation turns deadly serious.
Depp dives into a monologue about the importance of keeping secrets, and how easily -- like the recipe -- they can be given up (and he could be sent to prison), which plays over a montage of some of his worst misdeeds. In real life, Bulger was sentenced to two consecutive life terms on charges of racketeering,...

What do you do when justice isn't being served? In real life, you probably moan and complain and maybe write a letter or go on TV to have your voice heard. In the movies, individuals turn to vigilante justice and in the case of John Doe: Vigilante, that justice takes on a very large and bright spotlight.
Jamie Bamber, best known for his TV work in "Battle Star Galactica" and "Law & Order: UK" stars as the titular John Doe, a guy who decides to take justice into his own hands.
The thriller suffers from a case of bad poster but the movie itself is far better than the terrible artwork suggests and while we'll have more on that later in the week, we wan to give you the chance to see the movie for yourself.

In real life, when someone crosses you, you usually grin and bear it or simply move on. But not in the movies!
The smallest slights can lead to the largest feuds and, before you know it, people are dyeing each other's hair blue, rigging up buckets of blood, and pulling all kinds of dirty tricks in the name of revenge. Here, then, are some of the most memorable movie feuds, from the cartoonishly comic to the scarily sadistic.

The Salvatore house is in great danger of being destroyed, and this isn’t fictional, like when Elena burned down her home in The Vampire Diaries‘ fourth season. The real life Salvatore mansion is facing imminent demolition, and Vampire Diaries fans are banding together to try and stop it from happening. In real life, Stefan and Damon’s home is actually Glenridge Hall in Sandy Springs, Georgia, and it is set be torn down later this year. The land containing the property has been sold to Mercedes-Benz, and the company plans to build its U.S. headquarters on the site, having already been granted a demolition permit by the city of Sandy Springs. Perhaps what’s most striking about this case is the fact that Glenridge Hall, which was built back in 1929, is not simply the Salvatore brothers’ house on The Vampire Diaries, as it’s also been used in multiple feature films,...

And here we thought Grimm‘s first hybrid baby was going to be a Blutbau or a Fuchsbad or something of that ilk.
But nope; as viewers of last week’s episode are well aware, NBC’s fairytale drama (Friday, 8/7c) is moving forward with another Adalind pregnancy (spurred by actress Claire Coffee‘s real-life expectant state).
If you’ve been paying attention, you know that the only person the cunning Ms. Schade bedded lately was Nick — and that was 1) while she was in the guise of his longtime love, Juliette, and 2) as part of an effort to strip him...

BFI Flare: London Lgbt Film Festival has announced the successful filmmakers who will take part in the inaugural BFI Flare Mentorship program in partnership with Creative Skillset. This pilot program offers support to five emerging Lgbt filmmakers who will be mentored by a senior figure from the film industry as they develop industry knowledge, professional connections, their passion for cinema and an overview of Lgbt features entering the marketplace with a tailored 9 month program of talks and screenings.
The winning filmmaker participants and their specially chosen mentors are:
Aleem Khan, writer/director, whose short film "Three Brothers" was BAFTA nominated in 2015 and who is currently working on new feature, "After Love." Mentor: Ben Roberts , Director, BFI Lottery Film Fund
Claire Kurylowski, whose web-based work, "In Real Life," garnered a place in Dazed Digital’s Visionaries series and had its cinema premiere at the Institute of Contemporary Arts as part of London Short Film Festival Mentor: Ester Martin Bergsmark, award-winning Swedish filmmaker ("Something Must Break," "She Male Snails")
Islay Bell-Webb, writer, an Nfts graduate who co-wrote "Slap" (directed by Nick Rowland), which was also BAFTA nominated earlier this year Mentor: Russell T. Davies OBE ("Doctor Who" and recently "Cucumber," "Banana" and "Tofu")
Rachelle Constant producer, who is currently a development editor at BBC Continuing Drama and recently produced short film "Two Dosas" which screened at BFI London Film FestivalMentors: Mike Goodridge, CEO of Protagonist Pictures, former editor Screen International; and BAFTA-nominated producer Gavin Humphries
Scout Stuart whose debut feature "Mud" was selected for initial development with Creative England’s iFeatures. He also co-wrote the recent short film "The Pig Child" Mentor: Hong Khaou, director of BAFTA-nominated "Lilting"
Tricia Tuttle, BFI Deputy Head of Festivals, said, “ Watching BFI Flare (formerly Llgff) grow in the last decades, we can see just how much Lgbt cinema has matured and emerged from the shadows. This is rich, vibrant work representing the diversity of Lgbt experience across the globe. But we were also aware there is still a lot of work to be done to support British filmmakers who are Lgbt identified and who may want to tell these stories. We were genuinely impressed by the number of quality applications we received, and blown away by the talent and spirit of our five selected filmmakers. The future of British Lgbt cinema looks very bright indeed. ”

Amidst all the screenings, review writing, and foodie adventures that kept me busy at this year’s South by Southwest festival, I also found some time to sneak a few interviews into my schedule (as you can tell by what I’ve been posting these last few days). I’ve already published my interview with Nick Kroll and Bobby Cannavale on their new film, Adult Beginners, and now I’ve got the second round of talent who were in Austin promoting the film – Rose Byrne and director Ross Katz.
I sat down with Rose and Ross to talk about the phenomenon of Adult Beginners, seeing that people now explore much different paths than our ancestors from past generations. You can read on to hear about what drew both talents to the project, what each person turns to when in need of an escape, and the struggles of filming during one...

Lilyhammer's 'gangster on the lam in a remote Norwegian town' story is a quirky, comic gem that richly deserves a fourth season...
Lilyhammer’s third season arrived on Netflix last November, bolder, bloodier and sillier than ever. The most recent batch of episodes, boasting a budget bigger than Norway’s Gdp, catapulted viewers from the cold climes of Scandinavia to the tropical slums of Rio de Janeiro and back again, with a few stop-offs in New York along the way. There was murder, intrigue, Islamic terrorism, a dying whale, a mafia cookbook, drug-running, a big-budget Brazilian telenovela, reindeer racing and of course the requisite explosions, gun fights and fist fights that are now a permanent staple of life in the quiet and quaint little town of Lillehammer. There was also a finale that featured one of the more bizarre cliff-hangers in modern television history: a bludgeoned breast-crazed maniac lying...

On March 15, 1985, ABC debuted Mr. Belvedere at 8:30 p.m. as a midseason replacement airing immediately after that other show about a wise-cracking butler, Benson. The show centered on a proper British butler (Christopher Hewett) adjusting to life working for the Owens family of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. And for six seasons, characters on the show and the people watching them chose not to think too much about how strange it was that a middle-class family would have a live-in butler. The show hit that family-comedy sweet spot right along with Family Ties, Growing Pains, Full House and The Cosby Show,...

Prince Harry's ex is moving on in a big way. After scoring an enviable fashion gig with Mulberry and a role in a high-profile film alongside Judi Dench, Cressida Bonas's star is rising further - as Miss Vogue's latest cover girl. "In real life I'm often so shy - paralyzingly so," the 26-year-old aristocrat says in the magazine's April edition (a supplement to the main issue of British Vogue). "But when I'm performing, it's totally different - I feel free." As if to prove the point, Bonas dances carefree through the streets of London, in a casual Breton-style top and leggings,...

In real life, death is a multi-faceted thing. It’s a inevitability, something to dread, something to accept, something which touches everyone’s life and an opportunity to recite verbatim that poem about the clocks from Four Wedding And A Funeral. On the big screen, meanwhile, it’s mostly boiled down to a plot point in the accepted Hollywood screenwriting structure. It’s a bit of cheap emotional manipulation.
Filmmakers are aware of the associations the audience has with death in their everyday life, and they exploit them. Look, here a character has been killed off. You should be sad like when a person dies in real life. And oftentimes it works – these fictional people you grew attached to being cruelly snatched away inspires something approaching grief. Grief than can be dealt with by eating more popcorn, true, but grief nonetheless.

Amid renewed talk of an Isis threat against Pope Francis, the straight-talking pontiff says he's already prayed about assassination and made his peace with the possibility - up to a point. "I have said to the Lord: take care of me. But if your will is that I should die or that they do something to me, I ask you one favor - that they don't hurt me," Francis said in an interview with an Argentine magazine released Tuesday. "Because I'm a real scaredy cat when it comes to physical pain." Francis, who grew up in Argentina, was taking questions...

"Roar" feels like Walt Disney decided to make a snuff version of "Swiss Family Robinson." It may be the single most irresponsible thing I've ever seen as a movie, and I have seen it three times now. I may watch it again tonight. I am that fascinated by this record of absolute madness. Drafthouse Films has done a great job of picking up worthy new films for release, starting with "Four Lions," but they've also displayed a knack for turning up some fascinating curios, forgotten films that might otherwise never get their moment. "The Visitor" was a great example, a deranged mix of religious allegory and post-"Star Wars" blockbuster mania. One of the highlights of this year's Fantastic Fest was a screening of a film called "The Astrologer," a self-financed vanity project that defied any easy description, and I was disappointed to learn that there are copyright issues that...

Setting his new series in 18th century Australia might seem like a departure for Jimmy McGovern - the BAFTA-winning writer renowned for using drama to address issues plaguing contemporary Britain.
But when asked what's inherently special about a McGovern script, regardless of setting, both Russell Tovey and MyAnna Buring give the same answer: "Character."
Both star in McGovern's new BBC Two series Banished - a seven-part serial about the first settlers in Oz, many of whom were convicts shipped halfway across the world against their will.
"Jimmy adores the people he writes and he knows intrinsically who each of these people are, and the way that those characters interweave is inherent to him," Tovey suggests.
Buring - speaking to DS a few days later - is similarly effusive about McGovern: "He just gets straight down to the nitty-gritty of what it means to be human.

Let’S Kill Ward’S Wife is an odd dark comedy about a group of attractive young L.A. suburbanites getting away with murder – to be more specific: killing Ward’s wife. Ward’s wife has a name – it’s Stacy (she’s played by Dagmara Dominczyk), and she (according to this movie) deserves to die because she is one horribly domineering battle-ax. She won’t let her husband (Donald Faison) play golf with his three best buddies; personal trainer Ronnie (James Carpinello), writer Tom (Scott Foley), or struggling actor David (Patrick Wilson), who keeps getting cast in shows only to see his character promptly killed off. Stacy also won’t let Ward touch her, make a sound, or even breathe too loudly. Everyone hates her. Ward’s trio of pals joke about killing Amy so their friend can have his life back, but David also goes as far as...

Lars Ulrich has made his handful of enemies over the years as Metallica‘s outspoken drummer and one of the leaders of the anti-piracy movement that eventually shut down Napster—but J.K. Simmons might be his match. In a mashup no one knew they wanted but absolutely needed, Simmons’ portrayal of the hotheaded jazz band teacher in Whiplash is fused together with footage of Ulrich. The scene from the Oscar-nominated film is a particularly tense one where Simmons not-so-patiently tries to get a drummer on his tempo. Related: 2 Guys Made Metallica’s ‘St. Anger’ Even More Metal If you’re wondering how Ulrich would hypothetically react to that kind of berating, the answer according to this clip will definitely surprise you. In real life, Ulrich and his band are doing just fine having recently held down a residency on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and announced their plans...

However, the special did give us more Kelsey, who tried to explain herself with the kind of careful, over-enunciated manner we've come to know and fear.
Host Chris Harrison also sat down with Andi Dorfman, still reeling from her split from Josh Murray.

Jon Stewart's forthcoming departure as host of The Daily Show has sparked a fierce debate over his successor.
However, it seems that Hot Tub Time Machine 2 may have predicted the Comedy Central show's future by revealing Jessica Williams as its next host.
The comedy sequel sees the time-travelling heroes finding themselves in 2025, discovering that The Daily Show is still going strong, and that Williams is now at the helm.
In real life, Williams is a correspondent on the comedy news show, and is currently one of the bookmakers' favourites to take over later this year.
Meanwhile, the new host reveals that Jennifer Lawrence has been made a Dame and that Neil Patrick Harris is now the President of the United States.
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 will see Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Chevy Chase all reprise their roles from the original film, with Adam Scott...

Disney’s live-action comedy Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, based on the popular kid’s book by Judith Viorst, got little love when it opened theatrically in October. When Melissa Howland reviewed it here at We Are Movie Geeks, she called it “….a boring, cluttered mess.” (read all of Melissa’s review Here)
Watching Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day on Disney’s new Blu-ray in the less-demanding confines of home, I found it not at all a terrible, horrible, very bad experience. In fact, it was a bit funnier than I expected. 11-year-old Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould) and his family (dad Steve Carell, mom Jennifer Gardner) are put in silly, sitcom-style scenarios, and the PG-style calamities are harmless fun. There are sight gags, pop cultural references, and gross-outs aplenty, but they’re done with a hint of restraint and even some wit.
